STOCKTON - Tips from citizens have helped authorities apprehend two of the three men believed to be responsible for an October shooting that wounded a man in south Stockton, police said Saturday.

The Stockton Police Department released photographs and footage from surveillance video Thursday showing three men who were wanted in connection with an Oct. 27 shooting near Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and South Grant Street. A 22-year-old man who was shot in the leg ran to his car, attempted to flee the area and then collided with two cars, police said.

Since the release of the video and photographs, authorities have arrested Leonardo Robaina, 23, and Filmore Tadao, 29, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Police Department. Both were arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and a number of other crimes, police said. Silva credited tips from the community and "the power of social media" for the arrests.

Police are still searching for Jose Robaina, 25, of Stockton. He is described as a Latino man who was last seen wearing a red Sacramento Kings jacket and a red New York Yankees baseball hat. He was driving a green four-door Lincoln, California license plate 5KWA187. He is considered armed and dangerous, police said.

The gunman fired several rounds at the victims, striking both teens, officers said. Both were taken to a hospital for treatment, but their wounds were not believed to be life-threatening, authorities said.
